Nowadays, in the financial crisis travelling for business meetings seems to be very expensive. For this reason it was replaced successfully by the video, audio and web conferencing. You can use audio and web conferencing services via MeetingPlace Conferencing (MPC).
Look what says Amy Mc Kenzie, Payroll and Records for Columbia manager:”Every week we use MPC when we are doing our Time and Labor meetings. And this technology allows us to include all the colleagues”. He also shares that even in good times driving time to the central point is not as productive as the time spent on the phone.
It is not difficult at all to organize a conference via MPC. You can schedule it through web interface or Microsoft Outlook, where all you need is the MPC Outlook plug-in.
After you have accepted the invitation from the MPC, all you have to do is to dial the special number and wait to be joined into the conference call. If you are calling from a long distance you are allowed to use the toll free number.
The web meetings require an account in the web interface. This kind of conference calling allows sharing documents, making Power Point presentations, playing brainstorm games, sketches, flow charts. The conference call could be recorded for later purposes.
Despite you are not able to travell, you can still do your job efficiently.
You can find a full overview of features in the Cisco's MeetingPlace Conferencing Virtual Introduction, If you want more information about Mizziou take a look in THE Division of IT site.
Once you have decided to help stretch tight budgets, make researches for all the technologies which could help you.
